Milford Sound is a must-see on any South Island itinerary. This remarkable fiord is part of Te Wahipounamu, a UNESCO World Heritage site and is the jewel in the crown of Fiordland National Park.

 

A 1 hr 30 scenic helicopter flight from Queenstown is an incredible way to see this natural beauty. Along the way, take in the epic scale of the Southern Alps and The Divide.

 

Fly over secluded alpine lakes, sky-high waterfalls, lush pristine rainforest, ancient glaciers and rugged peaks. You'll have unparalleled aerial views of the legendary Milford Sound.

 

Another highlight of this flight is an alpine landing on a remote mountain peak to take in even more breathtaking views.

What an awesome experience! Milford Sound was beautiful. But the “secret sights” along the way were breathtaking! Landings on a snow field and alongside a glacier lake were great. The best was the up close fly by two waterfalls, a glacier, and turquoise lake. Unbelievable! Highly recommended if you can’t spare the time to drive to Milford Sound and take the boat trip.
